T or no call
Team B up by four with 20 seconds left, team A launches a three that is an air-ball, wide left by about a foot. B1, on the right side of the basket, jumps for the rebound, contacts the the net while the try is in the air and grabs long enough to move the rim.
Clearly not BI according to 6-1, 6-2, or 6-4, because the ball never made it to the basket or cylinder. But is it a technical according to 10-3-4b?
I was in the stands, but my good friend ruled no call because he thought it to be unintentional. 10-3-4b does say intentional. On the other hand, if he was going for the rebound he had no reason (other than instinct) to grab the net.
This was a HS noncompetitive rec league, but it was the championship game. I was not the ref because my son was playing and I disqualified myself. Oh yeah- my son won!
